Hello Randy,

I know that it's not a proper kernel-style formatting, but that's the
style used by the whole efi.c source code and I wanted to maintain the
same style, for consistency. Of course I can change to a proper style if
it's more desirable than the consistency. Thank you for the comment!
too bad. Sorry to hear that.
It should have been "fixed" much earlier.
It's probably too late now.
